41Giants - Eagles

As an Eagle fan, I enjoyed so many of their battles against the Giants. Some of the best moments in Eagles history were against New York:Chuck Bednarick's takle on Jim TaylorThe Miracle at the MeadowlandsDesean's Awesome Punt ReturnToo bad the Giants would bring their A-Game in the Playoffs. If only the Eagles could have done the same.

42Sydney FC - Melbourne Victory

43Blackburn Rovers FC - Burnley FC

With less than 8 miles separating both towns this is Englands most oldest and fiercest rivalry going all the way back into the 19th century. The intensity is added to in that they have not played each other too often in recent times. When they play each other they have to have coaches escorted by police for supporters of the visiting team to make sure they arrived at the opposition stadium without a riot ensuing. Supporters are unable to travel to the opposition stadium any other way. The last time they met at Turf Moor 150 seats were ripped up and the away end toilets left obliterated leading to 42 arrests. - Roverholic

Been to 5 of these games in my life and they create one of the most hostile atmosphere's of any rivalry. It's the oldest and most fierciest rivalry in English football dating back to the 19th century. Any time I've been as an away supporter you are only allowed to go on the coaches in a police escort to try and minimise any crowd trouble. The rivalry goes further than just sporting and there is genuine hate between the two towns.

When these two teams are in the top 5, you will have pandemonium like nothing else. It'll feel like the Superbowl! - westofohio

They are the best rivalry ever and anybody with a brain could see that

Are you kidding me? This is the greatest rivalry in all of sports. Two of the winningest programs in college asker ball meet twice a year. So many great games, players, and coaches.
